[COMPLETE] When Zara walked in on her boyfriend sleeping with another woman, she cursed God for the lack of good men in this miserable, modern world. Then she woke up in a romantic land of honorable Knights and the Royal Court. There, Zara is stunned to find herself one of eighteen women called The Select, from which the handsome, powerful King will choose his bride. She finds the magnetic King compelling. But her dashing Knight Defender has declared his love—and vows to save her from certain death: Tradition requires every woman in the Select who is not the King’s chosen bride to be executed to cover her family’s shame. Yet, the King is also making his intention to win Zara clear. None of this would matter if it was just a dream. But Zara is soon forced to accept that this is no fantasy. Which means each man—and his love—is real. And this world is a deadly nightmare. As the tension between the two men grows, Zara must make a choice. But how can a woman choose between a powerful King and a deadly Knight? Especially when either would kill to keep her? Are you #TeamKing or #TeamKnight?

I stood in my bedroom gaping at Stark and Erik who both stared back at me. My mind took everything in—both of these men who I loved and trusted, standing poised for action. Like they were ready to catch me. Or restrain me.
Like they were worried I might faint. Or stab one of them.
"I'm sorry, please say that again… what do you mean, my wife is gone?"
Stark cleared his throat. "Zara was apparently told to take a rest before the wedding so she wouldn't be tired tonight," he said carefully. My breath caught as my mind flooded with the joy that had been sparking in my stomach when we'd had that conversation, because at the time all I could think about was having her alone at the estate and all the surfaces I was going to lay her down on, or bend her over, when we finally had time to ourselves.
